Ok got tired of looking for a rear bumper, so i decided to fix mine.. Gonna give a quick run down on how i did it..

Before

Backside aswell


Put a patch on it


This is a two part plastic filler


Sand down nice..


Apply a good skim coat of filler

I think if most people had access to grinding and sanding pneumatic tools and a paint booth with all the sprays...this is doable... Wish I had access...

[woodt3]

What kind of patch do you use?

ez repair patch 05888...the gray filler is 5887...that stuff is great but can get really expensive...before applying anything, you must use their adhesion promoter or you risk the chance of delaminating...you can bend that thing in half and still won't crack...

[jlego]

He's right here's the stuff i used for adhesion..

Good job. Plastic work is a lost art, most shops just replace
